Annapurna Circuit<br />

Annapurna Circuit <strong>Trek</strong>, known as Nepal’s classic trek, takes you deep into the heart of Annapurna<br />

region, to Marshyangdi and Kali Gandaki river valleys. A favourite among old-timers, the trail follows<br />

the verdant Marshyangdi Valley and enters the wind-swept austere landscape of Kali-Gandaki<br />

Valley climbing to a steep traverse of a challenging pass near the Tibetan border, the Thorung<br />

La pass. The trail meanders through ancient Bhotia settlements, lined with colourful prayer<br />

flags, chortens, prayer wheels and mani stones. The towering Himalayan spires of Annapurna<br />

II (7937m), Annapurna III (7855m), Gangapurna (7555m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tilicho (7132m),<br />

Chulu East (6059m) and Chulu West (6583m) rear up in the background for the most part of the<br />

trek.<br />
